The US military has reportedly targeted three Iranian oil tankers in the Gulf region, according to a statement from Central Command. This action follows an alleged attack by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on American naval ships.

In the wake of these events, high-ranking US military officials are undergoing polygraph tests to address concerns regarding potential leaks of sensitive information, as reported by CBS.

Simultaneously, reports indicate that former President Donald Trump expressed anger over the leaks, leading to the decision to enforce these tests among top officials to maintain operational security.
